Does anyone have OCD friends in real life. How does that go for you? Is it helpful? I’m just curious as I haven’t ever met someone with OCD in real life or at least not that’s open about it

having ocd has been HELL but im not gonna lie, i have become way more empathetic

preach!!!^

i don’t have an ocd friend but i do have a friend who had a period of intrusive thoughts about killing people so i’m not alone💓

I only know that my father's aunt's son has OCD that is the same subtype as mine, contamination, but as he lives, like, 12 hours or more away I can't recall meeting him in person. But while I haven't don't know any close friends of mine that have OCD, I am hoping to attend a OCD support group's meetings. There's a local group where I am that regularly met up until COVID happened. I'm hoping to try to attend in person as my mom is the only one who has been to it so far, as she's very involved and does all she can to help support me, which I am very thankful for.
